[Verse]
Uh
Give it to God bro, you do as you please
If fear was a mile long I'd run to the sea
Shed tears at the gravesight in light of the grief
Rather write the pain away instead of lighting the trees or having a drink
How many of us caught by the strength of this disease?
That's a penny for your thoughts, there's a better way to be
I gotta teach, give thanks
I be praying to the East
Middle school, rocking ten deep
Diamond supply and ice cream sneaks'
Me and Q, shouts to JSP
Turn to [?], cop the MPC
On the block, peace to Pops, you the MVP
Best Christmas gift that I ever received
The days that I miss, wouldn't dare let leave
Better stay forever in the depths of my being
Branches reach high and the roots sink deep
Sweep [?] the pie, I miss my Poppa every week
Wake up every morning, kiss my Momma on the cheek
Then I'm off to school, Nat Cole from the backseat

[Chorus]
Memories, uh, memories, uh, memories
I remember twelfth street, I remember twelfth street
Memories
Uh, memories, uh, memories, memories
Uh, memories
I remember twelfth street
Memories, uh, memories, uh, memories
Uh, memories, uh, memories
I remember twelfth street
